Have you had or do you have obstacles to overcome?

How and the heck can you get past this thing that seems like it has changed the direction of your life?

It seems like a futile situation because it’s out of your control.

Well guess what; the only thing we can control is our own alignment.

Controlling your own alignment starts as soon as you wake up. You have to be intentional about the type of day you want to have, and focus yourself into feeling good so that energy and momentum can carry you throughout the day.

On today’s episode of Waking Up Right with Ivory, I talk with an inspirational man who experienced a massive heart attack and continues to get stronger and inspire others.

Brooklyn Mclinn is an American actor, former basketball player and occasional life coach. He primarily appears on television on shows like CSI NY, Rizzoli & Exes, Shameless, Key & Peele, Blackish. He currently has a recurring role on Cloak & Dagger. Brooklyn is an avid reader and overall student of life, who continuously inspires others.  So get ready to be inspired, and get inside the mind and heart of a successful, beautiful, brilliant man.

Some Questions I ask:

What are some tools that you use to grow Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually?

How has playing basketball helped you navigate through your life?

What is your ultimate failure? What did you learn from it?

What are some of your daily routines when you first wake up?

What happened the day you experienced the heart attack? How has it impacted your life and what did you learn about yourself?

Who are some of the people who inspire you?
